Scott High Octane World Cup DH frame from 1998. So rare that the only thing about it I have found online re the adverts posted on here & pinkbike by the chap I bought it from! I'll get round to a period style rebuild at some point. Would love to find the huge sofa saddle for it....

Thanks - it usually gets slated on here! DA 9sp - I'm guessing it's the non-STI brake levers which made you think Campag, which leads onto the part on there which was very rare when the bike was new. It has DA 9sp downtube gear levers mounted to a bracket on the aero bars - built in early '97 with some of the first 9sp stuff (of any variety) in the country, but I had to personally import the gear levers (bought from the late great Sheldon Brown's shop) as Madison weren't bringing them in, so I suspect they were the first set in the country. Still not exactly commonplace I'm sure.

I've got a pair of green Middleburn hubs from around 97 & a pair of Caramba double barrel cranks.
Also stupidly sold my Giant CX Prototype when I needed the money-still haven't found anything that rode as well as that

I have a pair of ringle peace straddle cables - I remember fondling them in a shop in Portland in 1995 having lusted after them for a while. Classic holiday purchase, one black, one purple. Now serving on my commuter!
